CHIMNEY-MOBTARING MACHINE.

Application filed March 29, 1916.

T 0 all whom it may concern 7 Be it known that I, THEODORE Eon, acitizen of the United States, residing at Bluffton, in the county ofl/Vells and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Chimney-Mortaring Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an improved chimney mortaring machineaud theprincipal object of the invention is to provide a device so constructedthat it may be used in connection with a chimney or smoke stack forfacing the inner surface of the chimney with mortar thus preventing thedanger of fire caused by the mortar breaking out.

Another object of the invention is to so construct this device that itmay be lengthened according to the depth of the chimney.

Another object of the invention is to so construct this device'thatapplying brushes may be mounted for sliding beneath the mortar feedinghousing.

Another object of the invention is .to so construct this device that itwill be easily portable for movement from one place to.

another.

This invention .is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view showing the device in elevation and applied to achimney shown in vertical section. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view inelevation of the opposite side of the actuating mechanism mounted uponthe top of the chimney. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view takenon theline 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken on theline 1-4 of Fig.1. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the brushes.

The driving disk 10 which is provided with a stub aXle 11 is rotatablysupported in the bearing 12 ofthe supporting frame 13 and is turned bymeans of a crank handle 14 connected with the stub axle 11. A pitman 15is pivotally connected with the driving disk 10 by means of a bolt'16and carries a collar 17 which is pivotally connected with the pitman bymeans of the pin 18. This collar 17 further carries a set screw 19 whichpasses through a threaded opening formed in the collar as shown in Fig.4.

The mortar feeding means in connected with the frame 18 by means of abracket Specification of Letters Patent.

or clamp. 20 and includes pipe sections 21 which are vreleasablyconnected by suitable couplers 22. It will therefore be seen that thisconduit can be lengthened by increas ing thenumber of'sections 21 or canbe shortened by removing one or. more of the sections. A funnel orhopper 23 fits into the upper pipe section 21' thus making it easy topour the mortar into the conduit. The lower pipe section is connectedwith the distributing head which head is also tubular and includes sidearms 2 1 and end arms 25. This rectangular head has its arms providedwith perforations as shown at 26 which are positioned in the lowerportions of the arms so that the mortar can run freely out of these armswhen the device is in use.

The brushes Q7 and 28 are mounted upon the lower section 29 .of thebrush handle or actuating rod and it will thus be seen that the mortarpassing outthrough openings 26 will drop upon the bristles of the upperbrush 2'? and that any mortar which passes through the bristles of brush27 without adhering to the inner face of the chimney 30 will be caughtby the bristlesof the lower brush 28 and applied to the chimney- Thesesections 29 of the brush handle are releasably connected by bolts orother fasteners 31 and the upper section passes through the guidingbrackets 32 carried by the base of frame 13 and is then passed throughthe sleeve or collar 17 and held therein by means of the set screw 19.It will thus be seen that by this construction the brushes may bereleasably held at the desired distance beneath the distributing headsof the mortar feeding mechanism thus permitting the proper length ofstrokes for the brush handles as the driving disk 10 rotates. Thisdriving disk has been shown provided with a crank handle for rotatingthe disk but it is obvious that if desired any other suitable meanscould be employed for rotating the cisk.

WVhen in use the apparatus is installed as shown in Fig. 1 and water isfirst poured into the feeding device. The chimney will first of course,have been cleaned to remove the soot and as the device is operated, the

' walls which ordinarily would prevent the mortar from properlysticking. After the water has been applied to the chimney wall, themortar is poured into the hopper 23 and will pass down the conduit intothe distributing heads. The mortar Will then pass out through theopening.26 and will be applied to the chimney wall'. This device may beoperated either by first putting the distributing means and applyingmechanism at the bottom of the chimney and applying the mortar as thedevice is drawn outwardly or it may be operated in the reverse mannerand the upper portion of the cuininey coated first. Nhen the wall of thechimney has been completely coated, the apparatus can then be removedand conveyed to the next place wiere it is to be used.

I have therefore provided a mortar applyingdevice which can be easilyoperated a nd which will be light and durable.

What is claimed is r 1.. A device of the character described comprisinga coating apparatus comprising a supporting frame, driving mechanismcarried by said frame and including a disk, a pitinan connected withsaid disk, feeding means includi ri'g' a conduit connected with saidsupporting frame and a distributing head at the lower end of saidconduit, a

brush positioned beneath said distributing head, and a handle for saidbrush connected with said pitman and receiving vertical movement as saiddisk rotates.

2. A coating machine comprising a supporting frame, actuating meanscarried by said suppcrting'frame and including a rotatably mounted diskand a pitman pivotally connected with said disk to one side of thecenter thereof, feeding means suspended from said frame, applying meanspositioned beneath said feeding means and having an elongated handle,and means connecting the handle of said applying means with said pitmanfor moving said applying means longitudinally in a chimney as said diskrotates.

n coating machine comprising a supporting frame, actuating meansrotatably connected with said supporting means, applying means, a handlefor said applying means, a link connecting said handle with saidrotatably mounted actuating means, and feeding means extending inoperative relation to said applying means.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
